‐bounded ‐calculus for sectorial operators via generalized Gaussian estimates

We show that, for negative generators of analytic semigroups, a bounded ‐calculus self‐improves to an ‐bounded ‐calculus in an appropriate scale of ‐spaces if the semigroup satisfies suitable generalized Gaussian estimates. As application of our result we obtain that large classes of differential operators have an ‐bounded ‐calculus.     

On index theory for non‐Fredholm operators: A (1 + 1)‐dimensional example

Using the general formalism of 12 , a study of index theory for non‐Fredholm operators was initiated in 9 . Natural examples arise from (1 + 1)‐dimensional differential operators using the model operator in of the type , where , and the family of self‐adjoint operators in studied here is explicitly given by Here has to be integrable on and tends to zero as and to 1 as (both functions are subject to additional hypotheses). In particular, , , has asymptotes (in the norm resolvent sense) as , respectively. The interesting feature is that violates the relative trace class condition introduced in 9 , Hypothesis 2.1 ]. A new approach adapted to differential operators of this kind is given here using an approximation technique. The approximants do fit the framework of 9 enabling the following results to be obtained. Introducing , , we recall that the resolvent regularized Witten index of , denoted by , is defined by whenever this limit exists. In the concrete example at hand, we prove Here denotes the spectral shift operator for the pair of self‐adjoint operators , and we employ the normalization, , .     

Weak Musielak–Orlicz Hardy spaces and applications

Let satisfy that , for any given , is an Orlicz function and is a Muckenhoupt weight uniformly in . In this article, the authors introduce the weak Musielak–Orlicz Hardy space via the grand maximal function and then obtain its vertical or its non–tangential maximal function characterizations. The authors also establish other real‐variable characterizations of , respectively, in terms of the atom, the molecule, the Lusin area function, the Littlewood–Paley g‐function or ‐function. All these characterizations for weighted weak Hardy spaces (namely, and with and ) are new and part of these characterizations even for weak Hardy spaces (namely, and with ) are also new. As an application, the boundedness of Calderón–Zygmund operators from to in the critical case is presented.     

On ‐null sequences and their relatives

Let and , where is the conjugate index of p. We prove an omnibus theorem, which provides numerous equivalences for a sequence in a Banach space X to be a ‐null sequence. One of them is that is ‐null if and only if is null and relatively ‐compact. This equivalence is known in the “limit” case when , the case of the p‐null sequence and p‐compactness. Our approach is more direct and easier than those applied for the proof of the latter result. We apply it also to characterize the unconditional and weak versions of ‐null sequences.     

BMO spaces related to Laguerre semigroups

For the system of Laguerre functions we define a suitable BMO space from the atomic version of the Hardy space considered by Dziubański in 7 , where is the maximal operator of the heat semigroup associated to that Laguerre system. We prove boundedness of over a weighted version of that BMO, and we extend such result to other systems of Laguerre functions, namely and . To do that, we work with a more general family of weighted BMO‐like spaces that includes those associated to all of the above mentioned Laguerre systems. In this setting, we prove that the local versions of the Hardy‐Littlewood and the heat‐diffusion maximal operators turn to be bounded over such family of spaces for weights. This result plays a decisive role in proving the boundedness of Laguerre semigroup maximal operators.     

‐triangular operators: spectral properties and important examples

We introduce a notion of ‐triangular operators in the Hilbert space using some basic ideas from triangular representation theory. Our notion generalizes the well‐known notion of the spectral operators so that many properties of the ‐triangular operators coincide with those of spectral operators. At the same time we show that wide classes of operators are ‐triangular.     

Dissipative operators and additive perturbations in locally convex spaces

Let be a densely defined operator on a Banach space X. Characterizations of when generates a C₀‐semigroup on X are known. The famous result of Lumer and Phillips states that it is so if and only if is dissipative and is dense in X for some . There exists also a rich amount of Banach space results concerning perturbations of dissipative operators. In a recent paper Tyran–Kamińska provides perturbation criteria of dissipative operators in terms of ergodic properties. These results, and others, are shown to remain valid in the setting of general non–normable locally convex spaces. Applications of the results to concrete examples of operators on function spaces are also presented.     

Generalized fractional integrals on generalized Morrey spaces

On generalized Morrey spaces with variable exponent and variable growth function the boundedness of generalized fractional integral operators is established, where . The result is a generalization of the theorems of Adams [1] (1975) and Gunawan [11] (2003). Moreover, we prove weak type boundedness. To do this we first prove the boundedness of the Hardy‐Littlewood maximal operator on the generalized Morrey spaces.     

Well‐posedness of second order degenerate integro‐differential equations with infinite delay in vector‐valued function spaces

We study the well‐posedness of the second order degenerate differential equations with infinite delay: with periodic boundary conditions , where and M are closed linear operators in a Banach space satisfying , . Using operator‐valued Fourier multiplier techniques, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the well‐posedness of this problem in Lebesgue‐Bochner spaces , periodic Besov spaces and periodic Triebel‐Lizorkin spaces .     

Spectrality of certain self‐affine measures on the generalized spatial Sierpinski gasket

The self‐affine measure corresponding to a upper or lower triangle expanding matrix M and the digit set in the space is supported on the generalized spatial Sierpinski gasket, where are the standard basis of unit column vectors in . We consider in this paper the existence of orthogonal exponentials on the Hilbert space , i.e., the spectrality of . Such a property is directly connected with the entries of M and is not completely determined. For this generalized spatial Sierpinski gasket, we present a method to deal with the spectrality or non‐spectrality of . As an application, the spectral property of a class of such self‐affine measures are clarified. The results here generalize the corresponding results in a simple manner.     

Sobolev estimates for (pseudo)‐differential operators and applications

In this work we show that if is a linear differential operator of order ν with smooth complex coefficients in from a complex vector space E to a complex vector space F, the Sobolev a priori estimate holds locally at any point if and only if is elliptic and the constant coefficient homogeneous operator is canceling in the sense of Van Schaftingen for every which means that Here is the homogeneous part of order ν of and is the principal symbol of . This result implies and unifies the proofs of several estimates for complexes and pseudo‐complexes of operators of order one or higher proved recently by other methods as well as it extends —in the local setup— the characterization of Van Schaftingen to operators with variable coefficients.     

Two‐sided estimates and positivity conditions for solutions of linear operator equations in a Banach lattice

Let A and be bounded linear operators in a Banach lattice B, and M be a positive operator in B. The paper deals with the equation where X should be found and are real numbers. Two‐sided estimates and positivity conditions for a solution of that equation are established. The illustrative examples are also presented.     

Strong convergence of two‐dimensional Vilenkin‐Fourier series

Here where with for all Each is a function and is defined by the generalized notion of spherical coordinates. The solutions are obtained by a or a process.     

Boundedness in chemotaxis systems with rotational flux terms

We consider the chemotaxis system with rotation under no‐flux boundary conditions in the bounded domain , . Here the matrix‐valued function fulfills () for all with some nondecreasing function S₀ and is a nonnegative function with for all . Moreover, f satisfies for all with nondecreasing function f₀. It is shown that for the nonnegative initial data and with , if at least one of the following assumptions holds:

• ,
• , and ,
• ,

then the corresponding initial‐boundary value problem possesses a unique global classical solution that is uniformly bounded.     

Subscalarity of operator transforms

In this paper, we provide various connections between a bounded linear operator T and some of its transforms, namely the Aluthge transform , Duggal transform , and mean transform . In particular, we show that under the condition that where is the polar decomposition, if one of T, , and is subscalar of finite order, then is also subscalar of finite order. As an application, we find subscalar operator matrices. We also give several spectral relations. Finally, we provide an equivalent condition under which a weighted shift has a hyponormal iterated mean transform.     

Carleson measures and balayage for Bergman spaces of strongly pseudoconvex domains

Given a bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain D in with smooth boundary, we characterize ‐Bergman Carleson measures for , , and . As an application, we show that the Bergman space version of the balayage of a Bergman Carleson measure on D belongs to BMO in the Kobayashi metric.     

A note about Volterra operators on weighted Banach spaces of entire functions

We characterize boundedness, compactness and weak compactness of Volterra operators acting between different weighted Banach spaces of entire functions with sup‐norms in terms of the symbol g; thus we complement recent work by Bassallote, Contreras, Hernández‐Mancera, Martín and Paul 3 for spaces of holomorphic functions on the disc and by Constantin and Peláez 16 for reflexive weighted Fock spaces.     

Exponential convergence in ‐Wasserstein distance for diffusion processes without uniformly dissipative drift

By adopting the coupling by reflection and choosing an auxiliary function which is convex near infinity, we establish the exponential convergence of diffusion semigroups with respect to the standard ‐Wasserstein distance for all . In particular, we show that for the Itô stochastic differential equation if the drift term b is such that for any , holds with some positive constants K₁, K₂ and , then there is a constant such that for all , and , where is a positive constant. This improves the main result in 14 where the exponential convergence is only proved for the L¹‐Wasserstein distance.     

Semiclassical ground state solutions for a Schrödinger equation in with critical exponential growth

Consider a Schrödinger equation where and are two continuous real functions on , ε is a positive parameter, the nonlinearity f is assumed to be of critical exponential growth in the sense of the Trudinger‐Moser inequality. By truncating the potentials and , we are able to establish some new existence and concentration results for critical Schrödinger equation in by variational methods. As a particular case, we observe that the concentration appears at the maximum set of the nonlinear potential which complements the results in 6 , 23 .
